Overview
Hypertension is a common co-morbidity associated with patients of diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes. Proper management of both these conditions are important to prevent future chronic complications like cardiovascular, nephrology and other complications.
Supportive trial data
1) Study name - Fosinopril Versus Amlodipine Cardiovascular Events Randomized Trial (FACET), 1998
2) Study design
- Open label, randomized trial
- 380 hypertensive diabetics
- Fosinopril (20 mg/day) or amlodipine (10 mg/day)
- Follow up 3.5 years
- Inclusion criteria- NIDDM and hypertension (SBP > 140 mmHg or DBP > 90 mmHg).
- Exclusion criteria- History of coronary heart disease or stroke, serum creatinine > 1.5 mg/dl, albuminuria > 40 micrograms/min, and use of lipid-lowering drugs, aspirin, or antihypertensive agents other than beta-blockers or diuretics.
3) Results- Fosinopril lowered the risk of the composite endpoints of acute myocardial infarction, stroke, or hospitalization due to angina more compared to amlodipine (hazards ratio = 0.49, 95% CI = 0.26-0.95).
